Chapter 32: The Battle of the Great Snow Mountain
"Mulan, you're not hurt, are you?"
"How can you get hurt, you've always been in front of me and won't give me a chance to get hurt!"
"After all, the bearing capacity of this wooden shield is still limited, wait a while after the next wave of arrow rain you grab my cloth belt and stick to me, let's move to the big rock together, by the way, I still have a bottle of chewing gum in my arms, will you eat a piece of chewing gum?" Mulan is too nervous to play at all, and Zheng Qian can clearly feel Mulan's trembling in the two bodies close together, maybe eating a piece of chewing gum can relieve her emotions.

"Hmmm......"
Girls like sweet things, even Mulan, and they have been nostalgic for Zheng Qian's strawberry mint-flavored gum Mulan for a long time.
And just at this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air, it seemed that the other party didn't want to give the remnants of the Li Jiajun of more than 2,000 people a chance to breathe, the second wave of arrow rain was also increasing compared to the first wave, and the star-like black dots composed of countless swords in the sky looked particularly shocking. One by one, sharp arrows broke through the air and once again pierced Zheng Qian's wooden shield, which was already like a hedgehog, and if it continued like this, the wooden shield would be completely shattered in less than five times.
And this is the 2,000 soldiers on Zheng's front side who have already lined up the gunpowder array and are ready to go.
The gunpowder mentioned here is the original animation of "Mulan", which is a cylindrical thigh thickness, red and a golden dragon hovering on it, and the gunpowder bullet is a cylindrical cannonball with the shape of a dragon head inlaid with the cannon body, Zheng Qianguan has always called this gunpowder a dragon cannon. Of course, although the Northern Wei Dynasty had this kind of gunpowder weapon, because its lead like a hemp thunder at the New Year point was too slow and difficult to aim, it was not advantageous to fight against Rouran's elite cavalry. Of course, this weapon is not owned by this dynasty, the first gunpowder weapon of Tianchao is the Assault Firegun, which was already in the Song Dynasty at that time, how could there be such a small mortar at this time!
With Hua Mulan hiding behind a big rock, Zheng Qian knew that there must be an order for gunpowder firing and arrow firing, so that you don't fire a cannon and he fires a cannon like beating a gong and drum, so Zheng Qian raised the iron spear with the military flag: "Now the soldiers who are controlling the gunpowder in the back listen, when I raise the flag, you are ready to fire gunpowder, and when I put down the flag, no one is allowed to panic for me!" ”
"Yes!"
Zheng Qian's plan was that the enemy retreated, I advanced, the enemy advanced and I retreated, and after a rain of arrows, Zheng Qian held the tail of the iron gun without dragging his right arm.
And the more than 200 soldiers who controlled the gunpowder were all staring intently at Zheng Qian's position, the two things that these soldiers who controlled the gunpowder had to do was to get the order to launch, launch, they would not care if their lives would be hit by the rain of arrows, because they had already given their lives, the soldier who raised the shield beside them.
There was a neat and orderly loud noise, more than two hundred gunpowder cannons fired in unison, and the rumbling loud sound seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaken, of course, if there is a high slope, it is easy to shake off the snow and cause an avalanche, but obviously in the case of this terrain, the avalanche is not voice-controlled.
The power of gunpowder is amazing, and it is much more powerful than the Song Dynasty, which was generally made of bamboo, which was mainly used to shock people's hearts.
After the second gunpowder of the gunpowder unit was fired together, most of the seven or eight hundred Rouran soldiers on the hillside were killed and wounded, because the high slope was covered with snow except for the cliff, and it was not at all like the soldiers on Zheng's side that had a hiding place, and the shield could not block the power of the artillery, so it caused a large number of casualties.
Of course, the early artillery was still not advantageous to the cavalry, because the cavalry was sensitive, while the initial artillery was extremely inaccurate.

An eagle called, an eagle in the sky with wings at least one meter three was hovering the troops in front of Zheng, all the soldiers looked ahead like a small hill with a cup mouth, and a majestic figure rode a tall horse in the center of the cup mouth, which made all the soldiers nervous, and everyone had a hunch that the battle just now was just a warm-up before the big battle, and that's all, the more tragic battle had just begun.
Like the line on the hillside of the mouth of the cup, a few more black shadows were sparsely added, and then there was no doubt that there were more and more black shadows, and the entire mouth of the cup was filled with a line of black shadows of Rouran soldiers on horseback in the reflection of the setting sun, and more than two thousand soldiers saw the spectacular scene of heaven and earth connecting for the second time.
Of course, they also knew that the last line was just a line, because the Rouran soldiers stood in a row, and now a line is probably just one side of a long phalanx.
Seeing such a shocking scene, all the soldiers couldn't help but be shocked, and their hearts were also uneasy.
"Are we going to die?"
"We rushed all the way from the Yellow River to Ducheng to save this life, but now we still have to go down to the Yellow Spring!"
"Everyone, be quiet, brothers who have lived and died together more than once, I have something to say to you before the war!" Zheng Qian ventured to climb on top of a one-meter-high stone: "Everyone has also seen that the Rouran soldiers are all cavalry this time, the number is probably more than 30,000 people, more than fifteen times our number, although we are strong, but we can't all fight one against ten, so when these cavalry attack in front of us, we have only one way to die!" ”
The soldiers in one of the recruit camps at Zheng Qian's feet had a trace of fear in their eyes: "But we don't want to die yet, every one of us wants to have a life to live!" ”
As soon as the recruit finished speaking, another soldier picked up the words: "Who wants to die if you can live, in fact, in my opinion, we are in the same Li Jiajun to be able to be 30,000 brothers to live for five more days is a great luck, if I can live, if we can usher in peace, I am like marrying a daughter-in-law to live a peaceful and stable life, I also want to take the family to the famous tofu township, to the birthplace of tofu to eat tofu together, but the premise is that I can live!" ”
"Brothers, if you are alive, I can show you a clear way, you listen, if you want to live, you must not be afraid of death!" Zheng Qian, who was standing on the stone, looked at each line of soldiers in turn, and shouted at them: "Draw your sword!" ”
Listening to Zheng Qian's words, the camp formed by the two thousand soldiers, from front to back, there was a sound of steel and steel, and each soldier raised his sword in unison.
